5 Do's and Don'ts of a Zombie Apocalypse Vehicle

I have seen many different zombie vehicles but some have broken the basic rules of zombie vehicles. In this post I will try to teach you how to make a vehicle that will drive the zombies out and will look nice at the same time.

Now here is the vehicle in question, the Mammoth.


Now before we start, always start with basic vehicle. The only reason this is not a rule is because all other rules can be broken in some very extreme cases. This one is unbreakable. I will explain each counter to the steps in the don'ts.


Rule 1: Have room to carry lots of supplies, like handheld weapons, water, and food.


Rule 2: Give it some cool firepower. In the aftermath, there will be some downed planes and your character will need some speed. Use only in emergencies.


Rule 3:Add a plow. How else will you get through the zombie remains? 


Rule 4: Put on some flair. If you find other humans, you need to show whose boss.


Rule 5: Add protective measures, such as bars over the windshield, a chainsaw in close reach, and a walkie talkie. 




I also added some more fun flair on top.


Now for the five don'ts. These are highly advised. This vehicle was not built for this but is a good example.

Rule 1: Don't give it outstanding colors. This could work in the ocean, but in a city or field, this could be easily seen. The Mammoth is designed for city use.


Rule 2: Don't give it future tech. A flying car is cool and all, but it just doesn't have a place with zombies.


Rule 3: No overpowered weapons. Simple weapons are the best. Huge weapons can be very limited in the long run and vehicles today are just not capable of carrying these weapons.


Rule 4: Don't devote all space to driver sitting space. You could use it to hold food, weapons, or spare seating areas for others. 


Rule 5: No flames. Don't go batman batmobile with your car. Just don't. Please.


And these are the 5 does and don'ts of a zombie vehicle. Now before I end this post, I would like to issue a challenge. 

YOU the readers build a vehicle to take on the zombie hordes and post it in the comments. I give you 2 weeks. The winner I choose will get to suggest a build(within reason) that I will build, dedicate the post to that reader, and post about it the requested build with the winning picture in it.

See you next time!

War Machine-HULKBUSTER!

Hello and welcome to another epic post from Legomaster. This week I will be showing you a longterm project that I have been working on for over 2 months. I did not build every day, some weeks I did nothing at all, sometimes only one or two small adjustments.  Here I present it to you: The WAR MACHINE HULKBUSTER!!! It's a little over 9 inches tall and 6 inches wide. Now for the functions. Here is the cockpit inside the chest that opens on a small hinge. Here is a arm, which has 3 fingers, a gun, and a quad-piston extenders. Here is a cool fact: The upper part of the arm is a 6 stud shooter and the shoulder protectors are nexo knight shields.  Up here you can see the main gun which has 4 rotating barrels(in my imagination) to mow down enemies. The hulkbuster is powered by not 1, not 2, but 3 arch reactors! How else will you power all those mechanics? The round brick on top is to hold the War Machine helmet once I get a War Machine minifigure.

Excalibur, the mini mech part 1.

Hello again! Welcome to another exiting post from Legomaster! In this post I will be showing you how to build an amazing MOC( my own creation ) , Excalibur, the medieval mini mech! This is a part one of a two part post. The first post (this one) will show you how to build the top torso. Here is the mech itself, Excalibur! Here are the pieces to start off with. Start by taking one 1x2 double stud brick and attach a 1x2 bar plate piece on each side as shown. On top of each 1x2 bar plate, attach a 1x1 circular clip plate as shown. On the back of the 1x1 circular clip bar attach a inverted 1x2 slope to the back as shown.  On the front of the 1x1 circular clip plate and part of the front of the inverted 1x2 slope, attach a 1x2 brick with side studs. That is the brick you started with in the beginning. On the inner bottom sides of both of the 1x2 brick with side studs, attach a 1x1 plate side clip as shown. Do the same thing on the outer bot

Adventures of B1 the Battle Droid! (B1 droid upgrades and variants)

Hello to the one or two people who read this, welcome to a post from Legomatic! Now that I have my own computer dedicated to this Blog, I will FINALLY be able to post more than once a year on here! Today's story starts with B1, our battle droid friend. Why don't you say hi, B1? B1, it's not nice to threaten our new friends! So, B1 was a standard battle droid. But he wanted to be something more. After hearing of the amazing stories from the repair astromech droids, B1 thought he could be one too!  Here you can see his rocket pack, as well as wrenches and a drill. On the back is also a grappling hook, just in case he drifts too far away.  That rocket pack looks a little hard to pilot, B1.  B1, what are you... LOOK OUT!   Well that didn't work out. How about we make it a little easier on you B buddy? Lets add on an even more powerful pack with weapons! This is called the Extremist suit, with lasers, armor,
